SCF Kids Fire Academy Week 2, Day 4: Kitchen Safety

Post Date:04/23/2020 10:00 AM

Kitchen Safety

Kids should stay at least 3 feet away from the stove and areas where hot food or drink is being prepared.

An adult should decide when you are old enough to use a microwave oven.

Remind grown-ups to keep things that can burn away from the stovetop.

Most kitchen fires are caused because an adult leaves the kitchen while their food is still cooking.

Remember to always stay away from things that are hot and can burn you.

Always get out, stay out and go to your meeting place if the smoke alarm sounds, alerting you to a fire.
